As some others have already posted, it is so unbelievably weird to watch a kid's movie for the first time in like 15 years. The thing I think that stood out most for me was how prevalent song was in the movie. I thought it was weird how every single time something needed to get done (a house cleaned, food made, going to work etc.) all the characters randomly broke out in song. I'm not really sure why this stood out to me, but it was really strange to me and it kind of bothered me. It made it seem like if you are ever in a bad situation all you need to do is sing and everything will be fixed.
I thought that the way Snow White was presented was pretty funny as well. As a couple people have already mentioned, she was utterly clueless. She could not make a decision on her own and was completely reliant on her surroundings to make her decisions for her. The amount of trust she had in people was sickening, but I guess this is probably just a reflection on the type of movie Snow White is. Snow White is clearly a movie meant for children and therefore it isn't surprising that Disney would present the world as a good place to live in and that people are generally very trustworthy.
